Besides the login issues, and my terrible playtime, I love Horizon and would recommend it to anyone seeking a strong community experience with XI. Its crazy fun
@@zarbrawl if y'all been having trouble with log in try disabling Ashenbubs or whatever that tab is, and also if you have seeding turned off probably best to have it on. Yesterday I got black screen after zoning so I closed out window then tried to log back in but the launcher wouldn't even open so I tried rebooting my computer nothing, reinstalling the game nothing, finally I restarted my modem and eventually i was able to log in. So it seems to be a problem with connecting with their server (aka the host).
I think one of the things I'm enjoying most about Horizon is I am meeting great people. Leveling, instead of being a chore is quite fun. I'm also surprised at how many new players there are. I know it's a great game, you know it's a great game, but it's old. I expected predominantly players on nostalgia trips. The new blood is quite unexpected and wonderful to see.
FFxi at lvl 75 is and will always be my favorite mmo. A friend just clued me into Horizon, I've played on Nasomi and Eden but I always got on there late. I'm excited to get going on a relatively fresh server where the low levels are active. I just hope fishing doesn't get overrun like it does on every private server.
Great overview. If you can do video of your settings. I can’t seem to get game running this smooth. I did the /fps 1 but just slows down the frame rate.
Was able to log into horizon early today. First played retail during wings of the godess post abyssea. The biggest shock was not being able to find a field tome in East sarutaruba. I guess AMAN tomes weren't in during chains of promathia
Just returned to Wings XI after a long break to see the playerbase dwindle at 70s. I genuienly do not have time to do all the things I've done from scratch. I'll be staying in Wings.
I got into it around the Rise of the Zilart Expansion. I wanted to play before, but my parents wouldnt pay the monthly subscription. Took a while to convince them :P
I had the old PS2 setup, with the network adapter and everything. RoZ+CoP era, which I think was right on NA release. Horizon is an awesome blast back to the past for me!
The GM's and Devs in this game just suck. Exploits, inner politics .. just a recipe for disaster. Plus the CLO and IP head at SE were made aware of H11 just today so expect a C&D very soon.
@@zarbrawl My friend went to Fordham with the current CLO and they just had a convo 2 days ago about this particular private server and said they are prepared to send DMCA take down notifications; cease and desist letters and looking at the developers from IP/CR infringement. I’ve already quite had COP finished, rank 10 sandy and sky access 75sam with a ton of gear lol. Not investing anymore time to a sinking ship.
The real over view is that its crap. The servers are down 75% of the time. Loging in is a challenge. Sometimes you gotta try 10x just to get past the login screen. Its a very slow game. Lots of bugs. Plenty of bans already for things such as exploits and bugs. It has an average population of around 4000 people. One GM on discord was acting like a bitch and was muting people for 30min for having an opinion. (No i was not 1 of the muted people lol )
4k not bad. Good enough for a western audience. Personally I play the ffxi official servers since launch til now. I wont be blindsided by hype do all over, give up memories and gear that took you months or years.
I totally understand your frusration. The main issue I have had is the login. I feel like ive been fairly lucky on that end, but yes there are a lot of bugs still. Its my first time joining a private server on launch, so Im unsure if this is standard. Im still having fun, but i do hope the bugs/login issues get resolved asap.
You sound like a salty wings or Eden player lol have fun with your 100 player server. If you can't handle some bumps in the start of a server private servers just ain't for you. This is hands down the best server right now log in issues and all. I'm having the time of my life.
Besides the login issues, and my terrible playtime, I love Horizon and would recommend it to anyone seeking a strong community experience with XI. Its crazy fun
I agree, the logins can be a bit brutal lol. I hope this stabilizes soon
Agreed!
Im scared to zone or login my mule that it wont let me back in 😂

As far as the music goes, can I just say... the remixed party battle theme is an absolute banger, I can party for hours and not get tired of it!
Been looking for content for the server such as guides as it's been over a decade since I last played FFXI consistently lol. Thanks for providing!
Ive loved it, brings me back to my school days. Just earning items and gil is enough to keep me coming back for more!

it sort of is atm not gonna lie. I made a fishing guide if ever you do need it. Hope to welcome you on Horizon !
@@zarbrawl I'd like a peek at that guide please please ^^, just started myself and finally have some time to really get into it now.
@@SatonakaCP4 check in my librairy its my latest video :)
I went on vacation after getting Warrior to 18 and unlocked subjob. I’ve been thinking about the game the whole time ive been on vacation
Watching this as it installs. I played OG and am realizing how much I forgot lol
see you in game ! :D
you're not the only one. i was playing this game for a long time and forgot 90% of it
Love to see the content! //Ljufa
yeah man, this server is poppin. I love it
Great overview. If you can do video of your settings. I can’t seem to get game running this smooth. I did the /fps 1 but just slows down the frame rate.
weird. do u have the FPS addon checked on in the launcher?
Was able to log into horizon early today. First played retail during wings of the godess post abyssea. The biggest shock was not being able to find a field tome in East sarutaruba. I guess AMAN tomes weren't in during chains of promathia
yeah lol even I was looking for em until I realized there was none
Wow i played like 10 years or so and this wasn't out when i quit
What up homelet
I have only been able to login twice since installing and I’ve basically just given up at this point.
Just returned to Wings XI after a long break to see the playerbase dwindle at 70s.
I genuienly do not have time to do all the things I've done from scratch. I'll be staying in Wings.
i feel ya, was a tough choice for me to swap to be honest for same reasons
tried to get into horizon but couldnt get my elite controller to work with it (played for years on the 360 back in the day) so i gave up.
As it turns out, your opinion on launcher was a couple days too soon. Basically unplayable for the last few days
your not wrong lol but today seems a lot better for some reason. Dont know if they fixed anything or just lucky !
@@zarbrawl You're right I spoke too soon. First try today
When did you get into ffxi?
This is for old schoolers.
The OGs.
Those of us who got in the NA release.
And wanted to relive
I got into it around the Rise of the Zilart Expansion. I wanted to play before, but my parents wouldnt pay the monthly subscription. Took a while to convince them :P

Will they do a name change?
Is it too late for me to jump on and enjoy this server? Is it still active?
its isnt, new players every day, server is still very much alive and the best atm for a lv 75 classic server
Still active to this day June 19 2023. Usually 1500+ players on at a time, no less.
I haven’t got much playtime yet I’ve just solo thf to 18 but so far it’s awesome.
how is thf? I know its kinda different than retail version.
I’ve been watching it all. I still think Eden private server is still the best because it offers ballista (pvp)
RDM Tank!
Anyone still play this ?
Couldn’t you just create one of your two mules then delete your previous main?
not if i wanted to save my name :( name would be taken by the char for the week period
4635 online now
shocker, when its FREE. lol. Keep spamming that /sea all (which is prolly fabricated server side.)
Man…if only they increased the running speed a little bit
i miss homepoint warps
I’m glad none of that exists
@@Sporkonafork1 more power to ya if you like running in slow motion
What about trying to log in
yeah sadly thats the biggest issue with the server. Im sure this will get resolved at some point
oh look, im number 64

oh? link to article or info? just curious, tho SE has known about private servers for a while lol, not sure this means anything for the server.
